Dishoom King's Cross London Reviews from The Last Year
very average, overpriced food
My friends really wanted to go there for dinner so when we had to queue outside for 45 min and then another 40 min of waiting inside to be seated I thought the food must be amazing... The side salad called KACHUMBER cost you £5.50 and in the menu is described as: "A messy to-do of cucumber, onion and tomato. A little lime lifts the whole affair" ... When it arrived it was mix of chopped tasteless, hard, supermarket quality cucumber and tomato with a lot of onion, zero seasoning, just tasteless dry pieces of veg in a bowl... The DISHOOM CHICKEN TIKKA was a few small pieces of chicken served on a leaf with mountain of chopped onion on the side.... It pissed me off, it's another overhyped, extremely loud, overpriced "trendy" place in London with average food and pretentious atmosphere. The manager was good at the end, giving some vouchers after we complained. But still it's a mystery to me why people are satisfied with rip-off like this one
Culture shock
Food is overrated & overpriced… u cannot sell ambience for quality… some reception staff seemed a bit too cocky. I’ve been there last Sunday & again yesterday for Wednesday dinner & don’t think I will be returning soon ! Having grown up in those airy, spacious Irani restaurants in Bombay like Kyani & Bastani & Sassanian in Marine Lines, I was hoping avarice and advertising gimmicks would take second place to Irani value for money simplicity.& old world charm which only the “ urbs prima in Indis “ can provide would stand out in changing times ! I cannot echo Adi Murzban’s ‘ Bambara Neri hain ‘ as I doff my hat to the memories of Reza Shah Pavlavi & Queen Soraya & a plethora of old Bombay Persian traditions… give me botti kebab & moghlai biriyani followed by bun maska aroma & caramel custard anyday. Good luck! However, some staff like Mangesh, Irma, Lauren & Ankara stand out as your asset …
The best experience!
Dishoom KC was recommended to me by a good friend, so I booked a table for lunch for me and my mum when we visited London for the day recently. I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. My mum has a rather tricky citrus fruit allergy, so when our waiter, Daniel, found out (mum requested no citrus wedge in her drink) the team made a superhuman effort to make sure that she was safe. They were patient and courteous and extremely respectful. It was a refreshing experience as not all establishments are as tolerant. The food was delicious, so flavorful and the atmosphere was fantastic. I am so grateful to Daniel and the team at Dishoom KC for looking after us so well. I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding lunch venue in the future. Thank you!
Food not great.
Service was good. Weird multi level interior . Have had better take away.
Awful
Awful. Two hours after eating here I have been struck with diarrhoea. It's the only food eaten today and felt fine beforehand I had the prawn dish. Very spicy so much as to be too much. Would help if they guided you on the menu as to how spicy it is. I have hearing difficulties so no point me asking the waiting staff as could barely hear them
Excellent food and service
I’ve waited a long time to visit Dishoom. Today’s visit was not disappointing. The service was excellent (thank you Jamie) food arrived quickly and was excellent. I have their recipe book so was keen to compare my efforts, pleased to say I’m on the right track. Can’t wait to revisit
Great buzz
Great atmosphere and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Food was delicious and different to the norm. The food could have been a little hotter but this didn’t stop me eating every last bit.
Exceptional service
My husband and I chose Dishoom to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. The food was phenomenal, as expected. However, what inspired me to write this review was not the food this time, but the exceptional service we received, especially from our server, Naomi. She took the time to thoroughly explain the menu to my husband, who was visiting Dishoom for the first time. Her recommendations were spot-on. The highlight of our meal came when we asked for the bill. After a bit of a wait, we were surprised to receive a complimentary pudding, accompanied by a lovely message written on a napkin. And when we finally received our bill, we found another lovely message on it! We attempted to tip Naomi, but she explained that a service charge was already included, and basically refused our tip. This was a first for us, and it exemplified the first-class service we received throughout our meal. It’s this level of care that ensures we will return again and again. Thank you, Dishoom and Naomi, for making our 21st anniversary celebration not just memorable, but truly special. ♥️
Lunch reservation
We made one of the few reservations available, so managed to skip the long line on a Sunday lunchtime and be taken straight to a table. The decor is interesting - they say it is based on Irani Cafes - but even if you aren't familiar with those it has vibes of Indian railway stations in places and vibes of Indian colonial hotel bars in others. I wasn't coming here looking for an authentic Indian meal, so didn't come with that mind set. It was genuinely good, though. We tried the house chaat. It turned up almost looking drowned in white yoghurt so I was fearing the worst, but in fairness under that layer was a flavoursome chaat that mixed in well with the yoghurt. The chicken tikka was quite spicy and very flavoursome, so high marks for that. We tried the chef's special of malai kofta, which was one of the tastiest malai kofta's I can recall trying in a restaurant, and nowhere near as creamy as I'd feared. The black dhal was also recommended by the staff, so we gave that a go too. It was nice, but if I did it again I probably wouldn't order it. The special filter coffee was really very good. A surprise high to the meal. Would recommend.
Last minute
The host Veer was such a lovely guy, made us feel soooo welcome and the chia tea was nice and sweet. Natalie our waitress was a delight and helpful like Veer was, our menu choice they gave us went down a treat.
This is my favorite Dishoom because it has vegetarian kofta
This is my favorite Dishoom because it has vegetarian kofta as its specialty item - absolutely delicious with great service - I hope they add this as a regular menu item elsewhere
VERY EXPENSIVE GLASS Of WINE!
Lovely food and great service. BUT added a small glass of white wine half way throught the meal - £13.50 (plus the 12.5% service charge) - £15 for a small OK glass of wine. Ridiculous!
DISHOOM LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Great experience from start to finish. Front of house staff welcoming and all staff super efficient on a busy Valentines Day lunchtime. Our waitress helped us choose off the menu. Food was delicious. First visit to Dishoom. Won’t be our last!!
Simply THE BEST! If you are in London or going.
..make a reservation now!! The whole experience was special with aperitifs while you wait. Excellent service and impeccable food and cocktails.
Service was good, we were seated relatively quickly after
Service was good, we were seated relatively quickly after being directed to the bar while we waited. Food was ok, not strong with flavors or spice. Loved the creativity throughout the establishment, from the restroom decor to the drink recipes.
Stopped by here on a weeknight.
We didn't make reservations and it was already very busy by the time we got there. So highly recommend making reservations in advance to avoid any waiting time. The service was wonderful. Our server gave us plenty of helpful tips on things to order and was overall very attentive to our dining experience. We tried the samosas, the fennel lassi, the rose lassi, and the watermelon sherbhat. We also tried the black dal, paneer tikka, garlic naan, roomali roti, and chicken curry. The black dal definitely lives up to the hype. The paneer was also very soft and flavorful. Overall, Dishoom lives up to the hype. It's decent Indian food with an authentic ambience.
Marvelous food, efficient service and pleasant atmosphere.
Though the restaurant is huge inside be prepared for a long line--the food and service are so good.
YUM YUM YUM.
Would definitely come back here. There was a long wait (which apparently isn't typical according to others in line). The service was great, they were giving people chai samples as we waited outside for a few minutes. The wait was definitely worth it since the food was incredible!
Dishoom is completely worth the hype! Pro tip: come for
Dishoom is completely worth the hype! Pro tip: come for lunch because they take reservations everyday until 5:45pm. My bf and I both ordered their house chai which was amazing.. best chai I've ever tasted! I also ordered their old fashioned and my bf got the espresso martini which were both good but expensive. We split the vegetable samosas, garlic naan, house black daal and the chicken ruby. The house black daal is INCREDIBLE, it's hard to describe the flavor because it's so unique.. but it's absolutely delicious! The chicken ruby was also really good. The chicken was tender and the sauce tasted similar to butter chicken but with a bit of a twist.
Had reservations here for 4:15, and this was our first meal
Had reservations here for 4:15, and this was our first meal in London. It was already busy by that time and it was a Friday. The food was excellent and the service was great considering how busy they are. We ordered the a couple of entrees and some appetizers. Forgot to take Pictures cuz they were all scarfed down.
100% worth the hype -- the best meal I had in London! I
100% worth the hype -- the best meal I had in London! I went to two locations of Dishoom on my London trip, and this was by far the superior one. As a solo diner, I didn't have to wait long. Once the host coming through the line saw I was alone, he immediately seated me at the bar. Coming alone is a great hack at this location, some folks near me were quoted wait times close to 2 hours! The service at the bar was fantastic. I wanted to try so many items! The house black daal was unreal. Still thinking about it. I loved all the interesting artwork on the walls -- they styled this industrial location as an Indian godown and the music was on point too. So glad I stopped by and I can't wait to go back!

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
What happens if no one accepts your bid?

Getting a Refund
I'm reaching out for some guidance on a recent experience I had with a Resy reservation at 4Charles purchased Appointment Trader.
Upon arriving for my reservation, I was surprised to find that there was no record of the booking under the name provided in my AT purchase. I've already initiated a refund, but I haven't received any updates except the suggestion to check my purchase details and open a refund inquiry.
If anyone has successfully navigated a similar situation and could share their insights, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
